Update on me:

I went to the doctor this week and found out I have a condition in my feet called Neuropathy. Which basically means my feet burn and tingle all the time. I was given a new medicine that causes drowsiness. Which is funny because I went to him for fatigue and he gave me a B12 shot for energy. Does anyone else see the irony of all this?

I bought an elliptical machine from Walmart, had it shipped to my house and my DH started putting it together. It had a total of 78 parts...and wouldn't you know it that one of the 78 parts didn't work. I had to call them on Monday to let them know and they shipped me a new part. It finally arrived today!

School has been going well. I am not sure if I posted that I am teaching 2 sections of English this semester. It is a little nerve wracking but I do enjoy a challenge.

I have been reading quite a bit as you can tell. I decided to review all my books. If any of you use Goodreads I am on there! My too be read pile is getting bigger and bigger.

Great progress :) Wonderful new stash too! I have nerve damage but in a different part of my body and have been on Neurontin (Gabapentin) for years. It's helped me so much but I do remember it making me very drowsy at first. I take B12 and Iron supplements for energy, although I am sure shots would work better. I will look to see if you are on my Goodreads list.

Beautiful stitching! Great first post too! I don't use Goodreads that often but I am on it. B12 shots are good but sometimes a daily supplement can be better for you. Sorry to hear about the Neuropathy. It is a terrible and painful disease that my mom had suffered with. Vicky L in CT
